I3agot, the Britis.i Minister here, had protested against the transfer by Spain of East Florida to the Vnited States.—We bare taken pans to ascertain the truth of this statement, and are warranted in assuring our readers that it is. altogether without foundation. ` One of /be American Papers -Announces the ar rival of COBBETT at Washinglan. Our Readers will remember that 'on the 23d ult. we ,inserted a Letter supposed to have been addressed by the Entperur of IthsslA-to the Duke of WE L L INGTON, the purport of which was to solicit : his. Grace's interference, to soften the demands of-Prussia upon France. •• We inserted it hecaUse great names Wq.sre Connected with it; !nit th foll f iwing day we treated it as a mere fabrication though othyr Journals, without scruple, seemed to rely on itsauth enticity. It is now stated-that the Fetter in question wa, accompanied by .a Memo. rial, wide' was COIIIIIIIIII cated at the .same time to all the Allied Courts, and also to the Court of the Thuilleries. The Memorial is said tocolitain a.,iminote description of the claims made on France, 'or concludes with what is . still " Vote de l' Ern reur." This Vote declares, that the Emperor, if no interests but those of his own subjects (Po lish or Russian), were concerned, would be -willing to waive his claim altogether. This would not- be a very honourable proof, of his regard to his own subjects, considering that he is obliged to raise a loan at. this - moment, :if the document were, indeed, authentic. The Emperor is made far il.or to say, that as the demands on France fire just, and as he ,has -no controul over them, they must be discharged, tinder such reductions as may enable France to dischargel'theni at. all,- But the Emperor, however, is alsothade to exbort the Allies not to suffer anydifficulties that may arise to prOduce distiniiM among thirn. - - 7r.r• the Emperor observes tint! FranCe; as far as in her lies, must satisfy all just claims oPoOlier,and that the least resistance on her part' woUld meet with' the most merited and severe puniihmeny Now • .we would desire our Reader's to compare the Letter, expressive of COrtpassion fOr France, beseechirig the i Duke of WEL LitCGTON to interfere in her taVour•- , --Mind---with Prussia only, with this Memorial which threatens her conditionally, with. severe punishment, and then they will see the pro priety of our doohts of the authenticity of a letter Which was receit ett • with passive credulity by o her Journalists.. If it• Were possible that these do cuments could both be gentiiiie, they Would beltr -dicroMsly inconsistent with each other. 'The objci of - tAe one was particolae,.and of the other gene ral as - to the Allies, Ana cottsiqUently the sUpposi : timi7Of the reported application for - the Duke of WELLINGTON'S interference . heightens the absurd contrarieties' of the whole, and renders it a mass of absurdity and nonsense altogether. The ROYAL ASSENT for the Bill repealing the HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION ACT was received on Saturday, and on the same day the ATTORNEY GENERAL, in the Court of King's 'Bench, moved that all. recognizances should be discharged. - The growlers of Faction must now return to the past for topics of complaint, as THE CONSTITUTION has been restored to all its energies, which were only suspended for' its own sec'urity.: The r persona also who had lieen taken into pastay - lot ,suspi cions, if not seditious, practices, are now also re leased from all lewd consrtprences, and the impri sonment which some of theta had incurred, and the legal terrors that hung over others, were light perhaps to what they might have suffered, if the GovErnment—satisfied with having brought the greater criminals to justice, and preserving the country—had not leniently forborne to seek for evidence, in order to bring them to trial, in hopes that what they have suffered would olicrate as a warning for their future conduct. ; 7_, - • The PRINCE REGENT iS now at Windsor, on visit to the :QUEEN.—Aniong the last visitors at. the Brighton Pavilion was 'the Mince of fiEsss, brother to the intended Docheis cif CAMBRIGDE, Saturday 'theCHAticEt.t.ort of the'EXCHEQUER, Mr. ARBUTiINOT,. , ap4I other fofficial'Gentleineh; had a long iirterview with theEa4 of Litrittiobt., at Fife-liotAd, Whitehall.
